Chapter 69: Temporary Shield

  Two straight and snow-white long legs suddenly appeared in Chu Yan's peripheral vision, and at that moment, he was startled. How could this little girl be so persistent, even running into her while having breakfast? He lifted his head, with half a bun still in his mouth.

  "Husband, I'm pregnant!" As soon as these words came out, the baozi in Chu Yan's mouth almost flew out, while Mo Xiuyao, sitting across from Chu Yan, finally had a noticeable change in expression. The faint smile on her face disappeared, and the coldness and scrutiny that belonged to the queen slowly emerged.

  "Chu Yan, I never thought you'd be this kind of person!!" Putting down her chopsticks, Mo Xiuyao stood up with a frosty face, the image of Chu Yan as a man in her heart collapsing instantly.

  Chu Yan looked at Duanmu Linglong's wronged face, and his heart couldn't help but laugh at this little girl's behavior. Mo Xiuyao's misunderstanding was normal, after all, the queen is the queen, and as long as it wasn't something within her control, she wouldn't be able to accept it. Especially when she had carefully dressed up to confess to a man she liked, this kind of situation was the most unbearable for a woman, and the blow was almost devastating. At least, for a relatively long period of time, it was devastating.

  "Cough, brother told you, brother has been tied up for a long time, you're pregnant, I'm afraid it's not me who did it." Chu Yan knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. Duanmu Linglong was just trying to trick him, and this move was a bit damaging. However, this suddenly reminded Chu Yan of an old joke, so he looked puzzled and asked Duanmu Linglong.

  "You!! You're a dead glass! How can you not admit to your good deeds!! You're also a woman, give me some justice! What kind of man gets someone pregnant and then doesn't take responsibility? This kind of man has no right to live in this world, he might as well be dead!!

  Du Mu Ling was not stupid at all, she directly shifted the fire to Mo Xi Yao's body, and she succeeded. The frost on Mo Xi Yao's face became even colder, her gaze towards Chu Yan changed from anger to disdain."

  "Your affairs, you solve them yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" Mo Xiuyao said as she took big strides away. Chu Yan wanted to stop her and say something, but in the end he chose to give up. At this point, explaining things to Mo Xiuyao would be pointless.

  "Alright, you win. Sit down. You ran out halfway through breakfast to stir up trouble. You're like a lingering ghost of a butt-kisser." Watching Mo Xi-yao leave in the taxi, Chu Yan waved at Duan Mu-ling and gestured for her to sit down.

  "Boss lady, give me two more baskets of buns and a bowl of wontons." Chu Yan finished speaking and continued to lower his head and eat. He completely ignored Du Mu Ling'er's satisfied expression in front of him. This little girl was single-minded, she had made up her mind that Chu Yan was her unlucky star, so she kept getting into trouble because of him. Today, she finally got revenge on him, and the anger in her heart was finally vented.

  "Serves you right! You've ruined my good deeds for the umpteenth time!" Duanmu Linglong didn't mince words, plopping herself down and taking out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick box. After snapping them apart, she picked up a small steamed bun from Chu Yan's bamboo steamer and began to devour it with gusto.

  "Big brother, if my son were half as capable as you, I'd be holding a grandchild by now! Ah..." The boss's wife walked over and put down the things Chu Yan had ordered. Although what had just happened only took two minutes, everyone in the store eating breakfast heard it loud and clear, especially that sentence "I'm pregnant!"

  Normally, a woman comes to a man and pitifully says she's pregnant. This isn't a big deal, it's normal for small lovers to get pregnant by accident. However, let's not talk about whether Chu Yan and Duanmu Linglong are small lovers or not. What needs to be said is that in front of the man Duanmu Linglong was talking to, there was another woman present!!

  What's even more annoying to the onlookers is that these two women are usually invisible, national-level beauties, and yet they're both entangled with that somewhat handsome man. This is simply unbearable. In the crowd, several tall and burly guys have already set their sights on Chu Yan, ready to teach this shameless kid a lesson after breakfast, and at the same time, get some close contact with the beauties. What a stroke of luck!

  The boss's wife has always had a different way of thinking, and the words she said before leaving made Chu Yan's head fly over a row of crows, while Duan Mu Linglong's face also flew up with a red glow. This little girl was just focusing on teasing Chu Yan earlier, and there were no decent tricks in her mind, nor did she think much about it, but she used the most commonly used trick of a mistress challenging a legitimate wife on TV!

  The effect is there, but the consequences are also very serious. At least for a period of time, this restaurant will be circulating a story about an ungrateful and disloyal man and a faithful unmarried pregnant woman.

  "Go ahead and eat, I'm treating today, the buns will fill you up." Chu Yan ignored Duanmu Linglong's provocation, although this little girl had gone a bit too far earlier, but Chu Yan just couldn't get angry, he himself couldn't explain why, no matter how much Duanmu Linglong stirred things up, he was too lazy to get angry.

  "You think you're clever! But thinking that a meal of baozi can settle everything between us is impossible! Hmph! If you don't give me a big scoop, I'll pester you every day and see how you deal with it!!" Du Mu Ling was eating so fast she almost bit her tongue off, the baozi here were simply too delicious.

  "I asked you, paparazzi girl, which newspaper do you belong to?" After finishing the bun, Chu Yan took a paper towel to wipe his mouth and hesitated before asking.

  "Dead glass! You dare to call me paparazzi girl again, I'll dig out all your secrets and expose them! This lady has a name!!" Duanmu Linglong said, waving her fist with great force.

  "Alright, paparazzi sister, I get it." Chu Yan smiled and couldn't help but tease her as he looked at Duanmu Linglong's angry expression.

  "Dead glass!! You still dare to call me! My name is Duanmu Linglong, it's extremely good. From now on, if you still call me Paparazzi Sister, I'll make you look good!" After finishing speaking, Duanmu Linglong swallowed the last baozi in front of her, and her gnashing teeth made Chu Yan unable to help but burst out laughing.

  "OK, OK, Doggy Girl, I didn't expect you to have a compound surname. From now on, I won't call you Doggy Girl anymore, don't worry." Chu Yan's words made Duanmu Linglong almost go ballistic, this dead glass was simply too detestable "Slap!! How dare you!!!"

  Duanmu Linglong was furious, this time for real. She raised her hand and slapped it on the corner of the wooden table, causing the dishes and other objects on the table to jump high into the air. The noise further incited the indignation of the surrounding crowd of onlookers who didn't know the truth. Several elderly men with a look of righteousness on their faces wanted to stand up and condemn Chu Yan, but were all pulled back by their spouses: "It's young people's business, what are you getting mixed up in? Just be honest and eat your baozi."

  "Alright, I won't say anymore. So, your name is Duanmu Linglong, which isn't bad. Seven apertures Linglong, but the problem is that your personality and your name don't match at all. You're completely single-minded when doing things." Chu Yan stood up and walked outside, with Duanmu Linglong following closely behind him, even reaching out to grab his arm.

  Outsiders thought Du Mu Linglong's behavior was coquettish, but Chu Yan just smiled strangely as he finished the bill. Afterward, his expressionless face walked out of the breakfast shop and arrived at the car. Chu Yan's smile remained unchanged, but Du Mu Linglong's facial expressions kept changing, from initial ferocity to later hesitation and severe suspicion.

  "Let go, you've been twisting for so long, shouldn't you be satisfied by now?" Chu Yan's gaze fell on Duanmu Linglong's two hands. This little girl's hands weren't even holding onto Chu Yan, but instead had two fingers each pinching the flesh of his arm and were twisting with all their might. From the time they left the house after Chu Yan paid the bill to now, she had been continuously increasing her strength, but Chu Yan's expression remained unchanged. This was what made Duanmu Linglong's facial expressions change so richly.

  It was supposed to be a relieving and satisfying expression, but no matter how hard she tried, pinching as hard as she could, Chu Yan remained smiling with no reaction. This made her start doubting whether her strength was too weak or if she hadn't grasped Chu Yan's flesh at all. After confirming that her thoughts were wrong, she began to have huge doubts about her own hand strength, because Chu Yan seemed to be someone without pain nerves, which left her quite disheartened!

  "Are you even human? You're so twisted, not even reacting to this!?" Some people reluctantly let go of their hands, and Tong Mu Ling muttered under her breath.

  "Du Mu Linglong, you've eaten and also messed up the few friends I have in this city. Now, shouldn't you get back to work? The world is waiting for you to save it, and countless handsome guys and beautiful girls are waiting for you to take their pictures!" Chu Yan said as he opened the car door, got in, and started the engine.

  "Wait!!" Duanmu Linglong directly lifted her leg and stepped on the hood of Chu Yan's Camaro, then frantically took out her phone from her bag "What is it? I know! Stop bothering me! I'll go!!! That's it!!!"

  Duanmu Linglong's expression turned unpleasant as she answered the phone, but her displeasure was someone else's pleasure. Including Chu Yan and over a dozen people around them, they were all captivated by Duanmu Linglong's slender yet fair and straight long legs, which she lifted high and stepped onto the car with. This move was simply too stunning!!!

  "What are you looking at!!" The surrounding gaze made Duanmu Linglong also discover her indecent posture, and she immediately opened her mouth to shout, then ignoring the onlookers' gaze, she pulled open the car door on the other side of Chu Yan and directly got in!!

  "Dead glass, now hand over your phone." As she sat in the car, Tong Mu Ling's chest heaved rapidly, clearly the previous call had not only been unpleasant for her, but also infuriating.

  Chu Yan nodded and handed the phone to Duanmu Linglong. This little girl used Chu Yan's phone to call herself, saved Chu Yan's number, and then returned the phone to Chu Yan. "You help me with one thing, and we'll consider our matter settled, how about it?"

  "What's up? Tell me!"

  "A drinking party, I'm still short of a partner."
